AI? Sorry, when it comes to PC stuff I'm a bit behind the curve (always been on Consoles). What do you mean?
Because you can be a more efficient 12tf GPU compared to an older architecture at 6tf, but both are still 6 and 12tf parts. The Series X might behave like a 14tf GPU from the older architecture but it would be false information to promote it as such.
Unlikely to see that. Just stick to checkerboarding and sub native resolution (if needed at all).
Yup lol. Maybe not that high but some obscene number that makes no sense like 749.99$
All Xbox One games, it sounds like, will be natively compatable at launch. Regarding 360 and OG Xbox games at the moment it's just the ones that already are apart of BC, however MS have said a number of times that the program will resume once the Series X launches and they'll continue to add new games to BC as time goes on.
AMD's equivalent to Nvidia's DLSS which has gotten really good with the second version (albiet two games using it)
AI trained on higher resolution on PC, AI scales the BC titles and adds in details on Xsx.
Nice specs. Seems like it will be pricey. Though I wouldn't scoff at a $600 price if MS first party delivers. These specs are probably why they started looking into consumer payment plans.
He's going to need around 31 switches, and a lot of duct tape. 😋
Thanks for the laugher :D
My beloved Nintendo Switch can't wait to welcoming his new big brother Holiday 2020 :)
I really want them to make it so that all your old OG/360 games are now compatible. There's gotta be a way around any kind of licensing hell that could give us full access to our libraries. Even if certain games are unable to be "sold" on the marketplace, at least let us download and play titles like After Burner Climax and Outrun Online Arcade.
There are even titles that are still being sold on the 360 marketplace (like Burnout 3) that aren't BC and need to be.
This new generation needs to be the one that leaves all the stupid parts of console gaming behind for good.

This is the console we've all been waiting for! Going to be a beast. Smart Delivery and Multiple Quick Resume is amazing to hear. Can't wait to hear more at E3 and see what the 15 Xbox Game Studio developers can do using this hardware.
A statement like, "The Series X features 12TF RDNA 2 GPU which provides more 2x the performance of 6TF One X and over 8x.... ...due to architectural efficiency improvements over last generation". That wouldn't be lie. That said, what is done is done and the proof is the pudding. We are going to have many tasty puddings.
Smart delivery aka buy once and baking it into the sdk for third parties to use is a boss move. Based Microsoft.
Games that are BC to Xbox One.
The rest is prevented more by licensing than by tech.
If Sony is going to play coy I'm not sure I'm going to stick with them as my primary console for the coming generation.
Sony was my go to because they had price and power, but also forward thinking with Remote Play in every game, SharePlay, VR, and PSNow cloud gaming. All of which I use.
if they've given up on the innovation front and aren't being transparent about it I'd rather move my gaming to Xbox and enjoy their gamepass and xcloud services and possible future VR integration. Also the PSO2 is actually making me very excited for its future.

Nvidia cards will sell regardless it is just a case of by how much more they do so than AMD.
OG xbox games in 8k should be trivially simple. I cannot image their being a realistic bottleneck anywhere. I dont expect Microsoft to actually do it though. 4k is already more detail than those games can really use.
My theory months ago was they'd sell certain marquee PS4 games on PC to make up for the loss of 1st party remasters. I stand by that.
He seems very confident which I'm not really seeing from playstation atm.
Really like the "visual upgrades on bc games without any work from the developer" too I think their bc team is gunna knock it out of the park again.
Just a bit more info then they can start showing how the games are looking on it which is the best part.

I'm sorry, are we at the point of "Sony has as much if not more money than Microsoft" for the thread?
Folks, do some research, they do not. If Microsoft wanted to get into a pricing war (Not saying they do, none of us know any of MS's or Sony's plan) they would win. I doubt it's something either company will do since it might be a pyrrhic victory, but I don't understand why people think Sony can outspend Microsoft.
These specs look good and the 500-600 range is there, 400 would be cool but I think it's time people start to ready themselves for former. That all said, thinking about inflation, it would be impossible to assume consoles would stay at 400 forever.

I feel you, I'm in the same boat.
Just can't convince myself to shell out big bucks on the current GPU offerings when I see those specs...
How I wish we had the new cards already...
Nvidia can't compete with new consoles if they bring another disaster in perf gains like series 2xxx
I don't think so... If amd can delivery 12tflops on a console imagine what they will delivery on pc.
Series 3xxx will need to delivery I expect 60-70% improv to compete.
It has never been presented like that. There are architectural improvements on every console generation. The teraflop number is a theoretical maximum and the more efficient the architecture the closer you can get to that number consistently. Just by saying RDNA2 they are making it clear this is a more efficient architecture.
